Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1470: Pressing Hard Step by Step

In a side hall of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace, Ao Lang, the Blood Clad Sect's Sect Master, was receiving the Dragon Kings of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace, the Northern Sea Divine Dragon Palace, and the Southern Sea Divine Dragon Palace.

When these four people gathered, it was naturally because there was something to discuss. It was impossible for them to meet for no reason at all.

Originally, the Eastern Sea Dragon King was the leader of the four Dragon Kings and the Western Sea Dragon King was the weakest. However, one month ago, Ao Lang visited the other three Dragon Kings.

Without exception, he defeated all three Dragon Kings.

Even the strongest, Peng Yang, the Eastern Sea Dragon King, a Seventh Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor, lost to Ao Lang in less than one hundred moves.

The defeat was extremely miserable; they could not resist at all.

Peng Yang and the other two Divine Dragon Kings looked at Ao Lang with uncertain expressions, feeling some fear and anticipation at the same time.

Ao Lang had already agreed to tell the three of them the way to grow strong quickly if they joined the Blood Clad Sect.

"Ao Lang, the three of us are here already; there is no need for you to keep us in suspense anymore," said Peng Yang, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Palace Master.

Ao Lang smiled faintly and said carefreely, "There's no rush. The Blood Clad Battle Armor that I put in a rushed order for you is about to arrive."

"Blood Clad Battle Armor?"

Peng Yang and the other two entered deep thought. That should be the scarlet clothes that the Blood Clad Sect cultivators wore.

Could it be that these scarlet clothes had different grades, and theirs needed to be specially refined?

While these three Dragon Kings entertained their doubts, three pretty maidservants entered the side hall, each carrying a neatly folded set of Battle Armor as they walked in.

"Sect Master, the three Heaven Series sets of Blood Clad Battle Armor have been completed. Please check them."

Ao Lang smiled and walked over. Then, he presented the armor. "This is the Blood Clad Battle Armor that has been prepared for you all. Its defense is no weaker than that of an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. After wearing it, you will be able to bring out your body's full potential. Your strength will soar rapidly within a short time."

Peng Yang frowned and said, "Although such Battle Armors are rare, they are not nonexistent. However, their side effects are all very terrifying. The light ones can already cripple. The severe ones might decrease one's lifespan."

Ao Lang nodded and said, "That's right. There is a price to pay for everything in this world. There needs to be a balance. After wearing this Heaven Series Battle Armor, your lifespan will deplete faster. After wearing it, every day would be like four days of an ordinary person."

The moment Ao Lang said this, the expressions of Peng Yang and the other two changed drastically. Such a depletion rate was equivalent to decreasing their lifespans by more than half. This was simply exchanging lifeforce for combat prowess.

"Ao Lang, there are still things that you have not said yet, right?" Peng Yang prompted sullenly.

Ao Lang laughed and said, "Indeed, Big Brother understands me well. That's right. Although our lifespan decreases faster, as long as we have the Life Extending Pill that I refine, it will be the same as a regular person's.

"Of course, I cannot give you the refining method of my Life Extending Pill. As long as you remain loyal to the Blood Clad Sect, I can guarantee that the three of you will have priority for the Life Extending Pill."

The expressions of Peng Yang and the other two wavered. This was equal to them placing their lives in Ao Lang's hands.

Ao Lang said indifferently, "The Blood Clad Battle Armor has four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The Heaven Series Battle Armors are very difficult to refine. There are no more than ten sets in the entire Blood Clad Sect.

"It can bring out four times your potential. It will affect not only your cultivation speed but also your comprehension ability. What do you think? You decide for yourselves."

"I agree!"

After hesitating for a while, Peng Yang finally could no longer resist the temptation of having four times his potential. Furthermore, if he did not agree, Ao Lang would probably fall out with him, so he was the first to agree to wear the Battle Armor.

When the other two Dragon Kings saw this, they stopped considering and put on the Battle Armor as well.

"Whoosh!"

The instant the three donned the Blood Clad Battle Armor, they immediately felt their strength increase by at least twenty percent. The joy from feeling the rapid advance was indescribable. The three Dragon Kings rejoiced.

"Here are the Life Extending Pills for you, one bottle each. Don't say that I do not take care of my brothers."

The Western Sea Dragon King Ao Lang's plan was exceptional. He knew that only by winning over these people could he continuously expand the Blood Clad Sect's influence.

After the three each received a bottle, they felt very satisfied.

"Many thanks to Sect Master for this gift." Peng Yang knew that from here on, his life was in Ao Lang's hands. When the situation had surpassed one's capabilities, one had no choice but to bow one's head.

"Thanks to Sect Master for this gift."

When Ao Lang heard this, he laughed loudly without stopping. A sense of satisfaction spread through his chest. Then, he waved his hand and said, "We are all brothers. There is no need to be so polite. Properly make use of the potential that the Heaven Series Battle Armor brings out. Half a month hence, we will attack the Dragon's Gate."

"Are we really going to attack the Dragon's Gate? They have the Martial God Palace supporting them. Although there is nothing to fear from the Azure Dragon King, Heavenly Dragon City is well fortified. The City Lord, Mo Chen, is also not one to hold back."

It looked like the rumor of the Blood Clad Sect preparing to surround and attack the Dragon's Gate was true.

Ao Lang replied coldly, "Don't worry. At that time, the Martial God Palace will not be able to deal with the situation. They will not have the time to bother about this. Back then, I swore an oath to humiliate Xiao Chen thoroughly. If I don't do this, all my years of hiding will have gone to waste."

When Ao Lang thought of Xiao Chen, the anger in his heart inevitably resurged.

The scenes of the past appeared in his mind's eye, one by one, all of them scenes of his humiliation. The one that was the hardest to forget was the one where he led the many people of the various Holy Lands to cause trouble during the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony.

In the end, Xiao Chen dealt with the situation alone. Then, Ying Zongtian sent Ao Lang flying with one palm strike.

Ao Lang would never forget this humiliation for as long as he lived!

"However, the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen's reputation has already hit rock bottom. He is now merely a cripple," the Southern Sea Dragon King said softly.

"A cripple? I don't care if he is crippled or not. Unless he kneels before me and begs for mercy, I will wash the Dragon's Gate in blood." The sinister, murderous intent in Ao Lang's tone had the others trembling in fear.

After this, the other three Dragon Kings stopped speaking and took their leave.

"Father, how did the discussion go? Did they agree?" After the three left, a youth immediately rushed into the side hall. It was Ao Yu, the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace's Young Palace Master.

"The discussion is over. Half a month from now, we will attack the Dragon's Gate." Ao Lang added indifferently, "The disciples of the Divine Dragon Palaces of the four seas will wear the Blood Clad Battle Armor.

"Send news to Heavenly Dragon City tonight. Tell them to hand over the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen. Otherwise, the Blood Clad Sect will head out and wash the Dragon's Gate in blood."

When Ao Yu heard this, he went wild with joy.

Back then, the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen had forced Ao Yu to kneel with one palm strike, which had given rise to Ao Yu's Heart Demon. After hearing that Xiao Chen failed the tribulation, Ao Yu had wanted to bring people to capture Xiao Chen many times already.

However, Ao Lang had stopped Ao Yu. Now, Ao Yu was finally going to get his wish granted. How could he not be excited? After hearing Ao Lang's order, Ao Yu immediately went to carry it out, quickly disappearing from this place.

After Ao Yu left far away, Ao Lang waved his hand, dismissing the maidservants. Then, he took out a Messaging Token.

"Whoosh!"

A black figure appeared in the Messaging Token, shrouded in fog and looking mysterious.

"Greetings, Treasure Master. I've already given out the order. Half a month hence, we will attack the Dragon's Gate," the aloof Ao Lang said respectfully to the black figure.

"That's not a problem. You already helped me obtain the Puppet Pearl, and I already promised to help you deal with the Dragon's Gate. There is no need to keep reporting to me." The Treasure Master's voice sounded somewhat sinister, inspiring discomfort in others.

"Many thanks, Treasure Master."

After getting reassurance from the Treasure Master, Ao Lang finally relaxed. He had waited for this day for too long already.

Far in the distance, in the underground room where the Treasure Master was in closed-door cultivation, the Treasure Master coldly watched Ao Lang's figure slowly vanish. A strange smile appeared on his face as he toyed with a pearl in his hand. "This is good. I can use you to check out the strength of the Dragon's Gate and completely stir up the factions of the Heavenly Starry Ocean."

---

Late at night, the Blood Clad Sect demanded the Dragon's Gate hand over Xiao Chen. Otherwise, they would attack half a month later. This news quickly spread throughout the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean.

Everyone knew that the Martial God Palace, which Ying Zongtian headed, supported the Dragon's Gate. However, the Blood Clad Sect really dared to make an example of the Dragon's Gate.

What was more shocking was the excuse that Ao Lang used: he wanted the Dragon's Gate to hand over the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen.

Many people had already forgotten this name. In fact, many of the newly risen outstanding talents had not heard of this name before.

After the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen jumped off from the last step of his Emperor's Road five years ago, there had been no news about him since his return to Heavenly Star Island; he had vanished without a trace.

If not for Ao Lang purposely mentioning it, no one would recall this name.

Immediately, many cultivators became curious. They wanted to know if the Dragon's Gate would hand over the Azure Dragon King or not.
